I noticed this behavior some time back but it still persists in the recent MIRC version 7.41. This wasn't an issue in really old version of mirc like 5.x.
I can usually join a channel name in my local language without any problems except when I have certain character in the channel name.
Specifically, I can't join a channel that contains "베" character.
So the channel name can be "Te베st", "Test베", "베Test" or something, and it just won't work.
I just get a message from irc saying "No such channel"
Any other characters seem to work fine (or at least ones I've tried).Any idea why this might be happening?
Edit: Seems like the character isn't showing up correctly on this forum

Edit2:
I just did few more testing and it seems like any character with A0 at the end of the header will bug out the same way. So same issue is observed with many other characters such as 0xACA0 0xAEA0 0xAFA0 just to name a few.
Edit3:
It actually seems like any UTF-8 hexadecimal headers ending with A0 is problematic. Actually, this problem isn't unique to specific language. It seems to apply for all other language/characters
See the UTF-8 dexadecimal codes from the link below
